Atelier note
A garment should feel finished before it looks finished.
The Gradeur standard
Gradeur began with a simple frustration: menswear that looked good on a hanger and wrong on the man. We work with a small circle of tailors in Lagos, choose cloth for the climate, and fit every piece to a real body before it is finished.
Small runs, not mass production
Each collection is cut in limited numbers so the finishing stays consistent.
Natural fibres and honest finishes
Cotton, linen and wool blends selected for breathability and drape.
A fitting before the final stitch
Height, chest and sleeve are confirmed before your piece is completed.
From 54 to 64 inch lengths, with chest and sleeve adjustments. Send your measurements on WhatsApp or book a private fitting in Lagos or Abuja. Allow 10 to 14 days for completion.
What we need
Word of mouth
“The agbada fit like it was drawn on me. The finishing is quiet, which is exactly what I wanted. I have already sent two friends.”
“I ordered a thobe for Eid and asked for a longer sleeve. It arrived on time, the length was right, and the fabric handled Abuja heat well.”
“The WhatsApp fitting was easy. No back and forth, no guessing. The kaftan is now the piece I reach for when I need to look settled.”
